Except they literally are emissions free. Nothing is emitted from the vehicle over its operable lifetime. Carbon footprint and emissions are not the same. Even if fueling via electricity had as large a carbon footprint as gasoline (it doesn't), it would still be better because it moves all that pollution out of urban environments.
